About
My obsession with makeup began at age 5 when I got a Marie Osmond makeup head for Christmas. Before I was even old enough to wear makeup, I'd amassed several binders worth of product and makeup artistry info. I even developed the odd habit of using watercolor markers to redo the makeup on the glossy pages of magazines. I guess my destiny was trying to get my attention.
For me, makeup is spiritual. Cultures around the world paint their faces for ceremonies. From weddings to wars, there is power in paint. Creating beauty from bottles, jars and tubes goes beyond art... it's alchemy.
